Part I. Multiple choice. Write the best answer to each question on the answer sheet.
______ 1) Cellular transport takes place in which of the following organisms? M.C. = 30x2 = 60 pts
a) no energy
b) additional cellular energy (ATP)
c) only kinetic energy
______ 4) Oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) move quickly and easily across most cell
membranes without the need for transport proteins because they are
1
______ 5) A cell membrane allows substance B into the cell. It does not allow substance A into
the cell. Which of the following are TRUE?
B A
a) the membrane is impermeable to both A and B
b) the membrane is permeable to both A and B
c) the membrane is permeable to A but impermeable to B
d) the membrane is selectively permeable
a) swell, shrink
b) shrink, swell
c) stay the same, swell
d) shrink, stay the same
a) lipids only
b) carbohydrates only
c) lipids and proteins
d) lipids and nucleic acids
______ 8) A cell needs large amounts of glucose for cellular respiration. Unfortunately, glucose
doesn’t easily diffuse through the cell membrane. Which of the following will the
cell need in order to obtain the glucose it needs?
2
______ 9) What process is taking place in the cell shown in the diagram below?
a) simple diffusion
b) active transport
c) osmosis
d) endocytosis
______ 10) A cell produces insulin which is a protein hundreds of amino acid units long. This
large protein molecule cannot fit through a transport protein. Which of the
following modes of transport will the cell most likely use to move the molecule
out into the bloodstream so it can be transported to other cells?
a) exocytosis
b) endocytosis
c) osmosis
d) simple diffusion
______ 11) The cell needs to excrete sodium ions (Na+) outside of the cell. A high
concentration of sodium exists outside the cell. A very low concentration of sodium
exists inside the cell. Which of the following types of cell transport will likely be used to
transport the sodium out of the cell?
3
______ 12) Which of the following types of transport DO NOT require specialized proteins in
the cell membrane to transport materials across the cell membrane?
a) homeostasis
b) simple diffusion
c) facilitated diffusion
d) osmosis
______ 13) The main difference between osmosis and simple diffusion is
a) osmosis requires cellular ATP while diffusion requires only thermal energy.
b) diffusion is movement with the concentration gradient and osmosis moves
against the gradient.
c) osmosis is the movement of water across a cell membrane; diffusion can
include water or other solutes (but, a cell membrane is not necessarily involved)
Questions #14 and 15 refer to the diagram to the right. The two solutions are separated by a
membrane represented by a dotted line (----). X and Y represent solutes, not the solvent!
______ 14) If the membrane in the picture is impermeable to substances X and Y, BUT
permeable to water, then:
a) into solution 1
b) into solution 2
4
c) no net movement of substance X will occur

and become turgid (fill with water)
a) hypertonic
B_____ 17) A solution that would cause red blood cells to
burst or break open. solution
C_____ 18) A solution that would be good to use if you wanted b) hypotonic
to grow skin cells for use with burn patients. solution
A_____ 19) A solution that would cause a plant cell to shrink and c) isotonic solution
lose water (plasmolyze).
More Matching. Match the following terms with the statements that describe them.
More Matching. Match the following terms with the statements that describe them. Use each
answer ONLY once.

Part V: Short Answer.
37) A lawn company has been called to a home with a weed problem. The stone walkway
leading to the house has a number of weeds growing between the bricks. The
homeowner wants the weeds killed without using pesticides. The lawn company
chloride (KCl – an ionic compound) dissolved into a low volume of water on the weeds.
a) Will the KCl solution that the lawn company used kill the weeds? Yes or No.
b) What is the TERM used to describe the KCl solution (environment) compared to the solution
inside the weed cells? Explain your answer.
To the best of your ability, use appropriate vocabulary terms when answering each part:
a) _Yes________
b) Term: Hypertonic
Explain: A greater amount of solutes exists in the environment (KCl solution poured over the
weeds) than exists in the weed cellss
c)__Water will diffuse OUT of the weed cells, due to the fact that a greater concentration of water
exists in the weed cells and a lower concentration of water exists in the KCl solution outside of the
weed cells.
d)_____Because a high concentration gradient exists (more water in cells, less water outside in the
environment), a high volume of water will leave the cells causing them to shrink (shrivel &
dehydrate) and die!

Part VI: Data Analysis – Extension Question
Three fresh chicken eggs (shells removed, but cell membrane still intact) were submerged in three
different salt solutions. The effect on the mass of each egg is shown in the table below.
Environment Solution Starting Mass of Egg (grams) Final Mass of Egg (grams)
98% water, 2% salt 83.0 86.1
97% water, 3% salt 83.0 83.0
96% water, 4% salt 83.0 78.6
